There's a limited amount of information on this forum, possibly because not many members have built one, but here's a link to all the relevant postings Perkasa threads

If you look on the Model Boat Mayhem forum you'll find a lot more references to it. I think there's also a dedicated Perkasa website. One thing I would stress is that whatever motor/s you choose it/they MUST be brushless. Few if any brushed motors have the necessary power to put this big and heavy model up on the plane where it should be. Also ignore sealed lead-acid batteries for much the same reasons.

To be honest, neither the two original Perkasas nor the two Huntsman kits were intended for electric power. As Malcolm says, there were no suitable motors or batteries available at the time. It was also generally acceptable to sail I/C models on public park lakes – something which you very rarely find these days.
